A base ball man in this city who is
cognizant of the oyertnres made by the
Kansas City and Omaha representatives
while here, says that the Kansas. City
tenn, if organized, will be one of the
strongest in America, and that they have
already bid high enough to capture some
3t the best players from two of the lead
ing clubs of the National league. The
whole thing has been done secretly.
This secrecy has preyeiled for the reason
that the men interested are planning to
sign some of the best players in both the
National league and American associa-
ton at the close OF the season. 1t is in
timated, and there is some foundation
for the report, that many of the best
players in the above associations have
been quietly touched and with sue

DR.. poueLAR

more shan twice the sur named for SER
Vices lasting about six months. During
nalf that time he was certainly with his
patient a great deal, but, even so, the fec
was by 40 means meager, considering
how 1t was earned.
Gen. Grant liked to have Or. Douglas
treat his throat, because he did 1t gently.
exercising Ia that respect the functions
OF q good nurse. The rest OF his trent.
ment did not amount to much. He often
staid at the Grant house attnight. but
yarely rose to minister to the general,
leaving that duty to the professional
nurse. Whenever he was disturbed, he
made up fer lost sleep by maps in the day
time. DR.. Douglas never had a very
large practice here. He was a specialist
In throat diseases, thus combining his at
tention to one OF many classes OF all
ments.
He went to Gen. Grant simply because
he was known to be gentle, and not in
the expectation that he could do any
more than ease the last moments of the
great commanders life. He was neither
robust nor young whom he began the
treatment, and II. the course of nature.
would not have held his own against old
age long. He became. strongly attached
to his patient, and no doubt felt his
death IS q personal loss, but the family
think him ungenerous to remind them Of
his grief; as a reason whysthey should pay
him excessive fees.
The fact seems TO be, according to their
view, that be has vastly oyerrated his
services and sacrifices, and that finding
himself in falling health he seeks, per-
haps honestly, the pretext that will com
mand ready sympathy, IN order to pose
before the public as y mxrtyr with Just
claims for help. OF course the family
offer no protest AGAINST financial aid for
DR.. Douglas, but fhey do object to any
such charity to make amends for any
neglect of theirs.
